Probably go to the junk yard abd find a Camaro or Firebird with an 8.5 and rear discs and cannablize everything you need from it would be the most economical way to get rear discs to start out with,Later,KillerDave

I think that's the only big body drop spindles you're going to find,I was just looking at my arcives,Oct 04 Popular Hot Rodding,78 Malibu,Jason Herrera,says dropped B-body spindles,B-body brakes with 12" rotors,I never have investigated it as I havn't had the funds to invest in that sort of...

That's what I'm planning to do some day way way down the road,to many other things going on right now,you'll never get a B-spindle to work without a custom upper A-arm but I'm thinking someone on the aftermarket maybe CPP has a complete bolt on 2"drop spindle/12" brake kit complete for like $699...

Hey Lurch, Well I appreciate it but I'm not really interested in an open rearend,besides it sounds as though I can use what I've got with a spacer,Thanks Anyway! KillerDave

That's cool,the bottom line though is Brattlys 4:30's will work in my series 2 rear end with a spacer?

Hey Doug, Thanks for the help but I'm still a bit confused,the first pic has a thick flange that the ring is bolted to,even though it has a thick gear the flange will be closer to the pinion center line,series 3,the second pic clearly shows the ring gear mounting flange to be quite a bit...

So that means the ring gear mounting flange on the carrier is further away from the center line of the pinion gear on the series 2 than the series 3 ? That would mean the 4:30 gears Bratly has will fit my 7.5 with the proper ring gear spacer? I guess that would allow for a larger diameter (more...

Hey there rear end (drive axle) experts, I need some opinions and or confirmation of the following: Bratly51 has a set of 4:30 to 1 gears for a 7.5 from a late model Camaro for sale and I have a 7.5 with a limited slip & 2:73 gears,he thinks all I need to make the gear change work is a...

Isn't that interesting! Factory due to being turbocharged? Now that I think about it I've never really looked under the hood of a GN! Probably will now! Later

I just had an email add from Jegs this morning and Wilwood now has a combo metering valve with a low pressure sender and adjustable rear proportioning!! All for only $59.95 I think! Well I need to replumb mine anyway,we'll see what happens!

Re: Retrofitting aftermarket wiring harness... Yea I know about the always thinking thing as I've been accused of thinking about to many things at once before,has almost gotten me in trouble a time or two,I'll be looking into a T56 projest this Summer,I've procured a T56 out of a 94 LT1 Camaro...

Re: Retrofitting aftermarket wiring harness... Hey Doober, What's goin on? Man you are always lookin into some heavy duty stuff! That would be pretty tedious rewiring a car like that,I'm shure it could be done though, I think the hardest part would be the terminals as I imagine that if...

I've always had good luck with Holleys,economy and performance both but it's hard to have decent fuel milage when you've got your foot in it all the time!

My suggestion would be buy the most machine you can afford,well to a certain point anyway,You want a MIG and I would suggest 220 power as opposed to a 110,the smaller ones will work but more power is always better,somewhere around 200 or 225 amp should do anything you would want to do on a car...

Well I stand corrected,after all the years I've fooled around with cars I googled up brake combination valve and How Stuff Works has a quite informative article on how a dual circut master cylinder and combination valve work as Tommy said it meters and proportions both and also has the warning...

Hey Shawn, All you really need as far as vacume accessories are to the advance on the distrubutor,power brake booster,modulator valve on the trans and if you have ac there should be a vacume line going to what I've always called a vacume ball that operates the heater/ac controls,the rest...

Re: Adjustable prop valve and combo valve question Hey There, Well for what it's worth the only reason I've ever found for the combination valve is that it has your low pressure warning light switch in case of a blown line or wheel cylinder/caliper,basically an anti-idiot device as...

Hey Fil, I havn't got a far as bolting that (fenders/doghouse) all together for real as I have plenty of other stuff to do but have noticed the same issue,my body shell is an 81,fenders 78 and core support off of a 79, It has been so long since I took it apart I don't remember any shims...

I just remembered something else,It's H*&^ getting old the brain among other things don't work like it used to! But anyway it was also suggested it could be how the body is bolted to the frame,there's play there so they may not be sitting square with each other either,yea I've been looking into...

If there is such an animal I'd like to know myself,I was figuring on making a cover for the hole myself,I have a buddy that has a bead roller,might be kind of interesting!
